Philosophy

Circle of Children Preschool is concerned with the development of the whole child: physical, mental, and emotional. Circle’s philosophy for early childhood education is based on the following concepts:

We believe the preschool years are fundamentally important in providing a foundation for self-esteem: cooperation, social values of sharing, and friendship: respect and understanding for others from different backgrounds: and developing a foundation for future academic achievement.

We believe that young children will learn best when the curriculum and activities are developmentally appropriate. Learning activities are matched with the children’s chronological and developmental age, their abilities and their interests. Classroom themes are inspired by what is happening in the world around us.

We believe the children develop concepts in the cultural arts, language arts, mathematics, sciences, and social studies by actively exploring, discovering, and creating through “play”.

We believe that the most important lesson a child can learn during their early years is that school is fun, interesting and rewarding. It is for that reason that every aspect of our day is planned to encourage each child to experience success, to develop a positive image and to help each one develop the social, emotional, physical, creative and intellectual aspects of their personalities.
